A12 to and from work for a limited time.
From my experience with A12 travel to tdy, I'd use A12 to work and D2 home. Again, from my experience (stated this in past only to have a few vehemently disagree), A12 rarely means a confirmed seat so your just a notch higher than D1s on standby now and you're not supposed to use A passes for jumpseat.

Soooo, you're saying it's kosher to take the jumpseat on an A12 if it's you're only way on even if that means it leaves another jumpseat qualified individual at the gate not listed on an A pass?

We had guys using them going to LGA/JFK for years. It’s essentially just a higher priority standby.
